This page is dedicated to my beautiful Jessica.  The day I came up with the idea of making a dedication page for each of my girls, I asked Jess what song reminded her of me whenever she heard it.  She said, "I Hope You Dance" because you used to sing that to us."  Jess - I think of you when I hear this one, too.  I just want you to know that I will always be there for you.  I know we've had our ups and downs, but you know that's only because we are so much alike. :::smile:::  You've had to go through so much already in your short life, and I really, really want you "to dance."  We both know that it does no good to dwell on the past and all the pain.  Just remember that I'm always here for you to talk to whenever you need to.  I also want you to know how proud I am of you.  I'm so glad you're my daughter.  I love you.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder 
You get your fill to eat 
But always keep that hunger 
May you never take one single breath for granted 
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed 
I hope you still feel small 
When you stand beside the ocean 
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance 

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance 
I hope you dance 

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance 
Living might mean taking chances 
But they're worth taking 
Lovin' might be a mistake 
But it's worth making 
Don't let some hell bent heart 
Leave you bitter 
When you come close to selling out 
Reconsider 
Give the heavens above 
More than just a passing glance 

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance 
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always) 
I hope you dance 
(Rolling us along) 
I hope you dance 
(Tell me who) 
I hope you dance 
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) 
(Where those years have gone) 

I hope you still feel small 
When you stand by the ocean 
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance 

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance 
I hope you dance 
I hope you dance 
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always) 
I hope you dance 
(Rolling us along) 
I hope you dance 
(Tell me who) 
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) 
I hope you dance 
(Where those years have gone) 

(Tell me who) 
I hope you dance 
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) 
(Where those years have gone)
